The Ring film poster analysis
The white, black and blue of the poster give it a cold and
sinister feel. The black shadows around the centre figure make it seem as
though something is hiding in the shadows. The white text stands out against the
dark background capturing the audience’s attention.
The figure in the middle is also lit up against the dark poster showing that this is a central character. The hair over her face gives off the same shadow effect produced by the black around the outside of the page; interest to what the girls face looks like is triggered. This suggests that the film is supernatural and implies that this character is the killer, making the audience more interested in going to see it.
The whole look of the poster is distorted with a slight static TV effect. This gives the impression that this image is on a TV screen, giving an insight into the plot.
The ‘O’ of the word ‘Two’ (in the title) is larger than the rest of the text in the title.
The message of the poster is predominantly visual there is very little writing on the poster (only the title and the tag line). The tag line again brings up the idea of a circle, linking in with the title and the large ring behind the head of the character.
The is no mention of famous actors, directors/producers or production companies showing that they are not a main selling point of the film, suggesting that the plot itself is strong enough to attract attention.
Attention to the poster is gained by the shadowy figure as interest causes the audience to try and work out who the person is or what they look like.
The tag line is built to create even more intrigue around the plot and what happens. All this makes the audience more likely to go and see the film.
